This clip shows female Blue 152 on the nest with the Stranger at 14.43.20. She's calling for fish but he doesn't oblige and starts moving sticks around instead. Blue 152 would rather he'd brought fish, judging by her continuous yelling, he appears to heed her and departs at 14.44.13 to the sound of her insistent calls.
There have been three females and two males - Louis and this one, The Stranger - visiting the nest so far this season. Females: this one Blue 152, and two unringed ones, the good looking healthy one on 18th April ([ Ссылка ]), and the small emaciated female who appeared with Louis on the nest 23rd April ([ Ссылка ]).
UPDATE 18/5/2021 - Blue 152 background info: Blue 152 is one of a brood of two females and a male ringed on 5 July 2018 in Glen Affric, which is about 25-30 miles (as the osprey flies) due north of Loch Arkaig. Glen Affric is one of the most beautiful places in Scotland and home to some very spectacular ancient Caledonian pinewood. This is the first sighting of her or any of that brood since ringing so the ringer was very pleased to hear about her.
